Google Docs Addition and Photo Editing

Passing on some news about Google Docs from the google blog............

Table of Contents, Dictionary and Thesaurus in Google Docs

It's no longer necessary to use bookmarklets if you want to add a table of contents in Google Docs because this feature is now available in the interface:

Insert > Table of contents. To add a table of contents, your document needs to include headings from the Format menu.

Google Docs actually creates a bookmark for each heading from the document and displays the bookmarks hierarchically using lists. Unsurprisingly, when you open the document in Microsoft Word, the application treats the table of contents created in Google Docs as a list.

You can find more information about a word directly from Google Docs: click on the Tools menu and look up the word.

March Madness

Introducing: Our Joost LIVE Test withNCAA® March Madness®
This year, you can catch the action, drama and excitement of NCAA® March Madness® – from the upsets to the Cinderella teams, from the Sweet 16 to the Final Four – on Joost as we test our live P2P streaming service.
As a part of the Joost LIVE Test, every NCAA® Division I Men's Basketball Championship game will be available on Joost, anywhere in the world, for free.
You can watch the games in full-screen – or, if you're trying to work at the same time, minimize Joost so you won't miss a single basket, turnover, or fast break.
Open up the Channel Chat in the My Joost area to chat with people from around the world who are watching the games at the same time.
Download Joost today to get started, and sign-up for email alerts to get a daily game schedule with links for every game emailed to you.
WARNING:This is a test of our live P2P streaming service. It's a pretty complex technology, and we fully expect things to go wrong. The stream may stutter, slow, or stop altogether. If your stream does stop, we recommend restarting the channel - that usually works. Otherwise, you might have to re-start Joost. We apologize for any inconveniences, but your participation will help us build a stable live service!
